After the infusion time is up, drain the drink to remove any cloves before using. Prepare yourself for a mosquito-free evening with your homemade repellent.
Helpful Hints for Maximum Efficiency:
Pick the Right Oil: For maximum efficacy, choose a baby oil that is devoid of aroma. Opt for an oil that is less complex.
Adjust the clove proportion to your taste; a decent starting point is 6 cloves per 35 ml of oil. Ground cloves mix more seamlessly, but whole cloves work too.
Improving the Infusion: If you want a stronger repellant effect, you might want to consider heating the baby oil with cloves gradually before infusing it. The mixture should be warmed up a bit before being cooled for use.
Use the repellent on your arms and legs and any other exposed flesh that might be bitten by insects. Stay away from delicate regions such as the eyes and mouth.
